Congratulations!
Your purchase of the C a r e T a k e r security system is a decision which will afford you greater peace of mind for the many years of service the system is designed to provide. The CareTaker is a revolutionary security system that allows you to use your Touch T o n e telephones to control your system and receive voice responses to your commands. It provides sophisticated protection without complex control panels with dozens of lights, bells and whistles. This manual consists of four sections: SECTION 1 introduces you to the components of your CareTaker system.
SECTION 2 shows you how to turn the intrusion protection on and off and explains what to do if you create a false alarm or experience a problem with your CareTaker.
SECTION 3 explains some additional advanced and optional features you may wish to explore once you have mastered the day-to-day features in Section 2.
SECTION 4 contains a Glossary of Terms (please review them before trying to operate your system), important information regarding the limitations of your system and what you should know about Federal Communications Commission Rules Part 15 and 68.
Special Note: Some of the features of CareTaker talked about in this manual are optional and are available at additional cost from your CareTaker dealer.

The CareTaker Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The CPU contains the electronic microcomputer circuits that control your system. It receives information from sensors placed strategically throughout the building and commands from Touch Tone phones or your Touchpad. It sounds sirens and siren speakers and produces voice announcements over your phones and can report alarms to the Central Station. The CPU has two indicator lights visible through small windows on the front panel.
System OK Light (Green) Armed Status Light (Red)
The CPU is typically mounted in a secure area out of normal view as there are no controls or indicators on the unit which are essential for day to day operation. The cabinet is equipped with a lock to prevent unauthorized tampering. The unit is powered by a plug-in external transformer which means there are no hazardous voltages in the cabinet or elsewhere in the system. This CPU is required for use in an Underwriters Laboratories Listed household Fire and Burglary Warning System.

Touch Tone Phone CareTaker can be operated from most Touch Tone telephones. You
simply push the buttons on your Touch Tone phones in a special sequence to turn on or off most CareTaker features. You will also hear voice announcements concerning your system from your phones ear piece. Only Touch-Tone Phones should be used with CareTaker. To check to see if your phone is Touch Tone, notice if you hear a tone each time a dialing button is pushed. Some push button dial phones are pulse dialers and you will hear a series of faint clicks instead of tones when you dial. In addition, the m and m buttons must not be used for another purpose that will interfere with CareTakers operation.
CareTaker does not interfere with normal use of your phones with
two exceptions: (1) If your system detects a trouble condition
CareTaker will make a brief announcement reminding you of the problem when you are about to place an outgoing call. This announcement will be repeated at least once a day, again when you place a call, until the trouble is fixed. (2) If an alarm or test is in progress and the CPU is reporting lo the Central Station, all telephones will bc temporarily disabled and any calls in progress will be disconncctcd.
Interior Sirens are small, permanently mounted sounding devices. One model combines the siren and a telephone jack and replaces an existing telephone jack. The other model is a siren only. These devices will sound the various system status beeps as well as make louder alarm sounds in Ihe event of an audible alarm. One model 60-136 indoor siren is required for use in an Underwitcrs Laboratories Listed household fire and burglary warning system.
Exterior Siren/Speakers CareTaker has two models of extra loud speakers that may be placed outside (sometimes inside) of your building. When activated they emit a loud siren sound and using the CareTaker digitized voice will announce the type of alarm and the number of the sensor which detecled it. The noise will usually frighten an intruder as well as alert neighbors and help you determine the cause of the alarm.
TOUCHPADS In addition to operating your CareTaker system with Touch Tone phones, you have your choice of three different Touchpads. You can have any quantity or combination of Touchpad models in your system.

ENERGY SAVER MODULE 60-140 This optional device contains a temperature sensor which is wired to the CareTaker and a control which is connected to your thermostat. You can set high or low temperature limits in CareTakers memory using a Touch Tone phone. When the Energy Saver is turned on it replaces your thermostat and the preset temperature becomes your new thermostat setting. You can turn the Energy Saver feature on or off with a simple command when you arm or disarm system. You can also control the Energy Saver feature from an off premise telephone. In addition, the unit contains a freeze warning device which is and normally set at 42 degrees. In colder climates this feature can alert someone, using the communicator, of a furnace failure. You can also call your CareTaker from a remote phone and have the current temperature announced by requesting the detailed status report.

There are numerous sensors which are compatible with CareTaker
particularly because the unit can accept both the wired and wireless types. Your CareTaker dealer will suggest the units he feels best suit your security needs. Following are descriptions of the more popular wireless sensors for use with the system.
Door/Window Sensor 60-135 This two piece sensor can detect any opening of doors, windows, cabinets, etc. It consists of a battery powered radio transmitter and a magnet. The units are mounted so that when the door or window is opened, the magnet is separated from a sensitive magnetic switch in the transmitter unit causing an open or alarm signal to be sent to the CPU.
Motion Sensors (Not to be used in a U.L. Installation) Motion Sensors detect movement of body heat within their detection pattern. They are used indoors only and are usually placed in an area in which an intruder would likely go if hc were to gain entry. The Motion Sensors contain a built in radio transmitter to alert the CareTaker CPU when an intrusion is detected.
Sound Sensors (No1 to be used in a U.L lnstallation) Sound Sensors detect only the intense sounds of breaking glass or splintering wood caused by a forced break-in.
Shock Sensors (Not to be used in a U.L. Installation) Shock Sensors mount on window frames and detect the shock caused by an intruder who breaks though a window lo gain entry.
Smoke Sensors 60- 106 Smoke Sensors should also be a part of your protection system. In a home it is desirable to have at least one on each level of the home and particularly important to have one near all bedroom areas.
Heat Sensors (Not to be used in a U.L. Installation) Heat Sensors are used to detect fire in areas not suited for smoke sensors such as kitchens or garages.

AUTOMATIC TEST FEATURES

When to Use:
Your CareTaker system has several automatic test routines builtin. If CareTaker discovers a problem it will notify you. Call your dealer to discuss what to do. The Sirens will beep, rapidly, eight times every minute until you pick up the phone or push the Push When Flashing button on a Wired Touchpad and listen to the trouble message. These same eight beeps may occur again 12 hours later if the problem is not corrected. The Green System OK Light on the CPU will blink until the trouble is corrected. When you change the arming level or make a status request you will hear the trouble beeps following the regular arming level beeps. If your system is monitored, the Central Station will be notified of the problem. Your telephone will make a Ping Pong sound and announce the particular test failure as follows: AC Power is Off. Your system may have accidently been unplugged or disconnected from AC power.

What Will Happen:

System Battery is bad. The emergency standby battery has failed and should be recharged or replaced. Sensor ?? Failure. The particular sensor is probably not working. Sensor ?? Trouble. A sensor has an internal problem such as a low battery or the cover is off. It may still be working. Trouble Code Zero Zero. The system has not been programmed or its memory has been cleared for some reason. Trouble Code 96. Your telephone line or connections are bad. The audible alarm features of your system will still work but the communicator will not. Fire Sensor ?? Trouble. A fire or smoke sensor has not properly

reset after activation.

Phone Line Failure. Your telephone service is not working or the CareTaker has been disconnected from the phone line.
